    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Once again, I rise to support the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill which has kindly been brought by hon. Sakaja. It is worrying that these amendments are being brought after 50 years of Independence. If hon. Sakaja was in Parliament at that time, of course, he would have been 79 years and not 29 years old. However, I appreciate that he has brought these amendments. I would like to say that the problems of the youth in this country are very different not only because of the geographical location, but because of the areas that they live in. That is the social and economic problems that they face. I feel that after 2013, the Jubilee Government is finally fulfilling the promises that it had given the youth and women. Indeed, today, I can see tenders that have been capped for the youth and women. That is an exceptionally good site to see. That is because you are giving an opportunity to people who deserve to do something in their lives and have never had an opportunity to get capital. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that people in our country are very dynamic. They have very lovely ideas. Let me give you an example of quail eggs. When the quail eggs business started, everybody was doing it. Perhaps, we need to bring to our society more diversified type of businesses. I support the amendments to this Bill because they are teaching people how to fish. Thank you very much. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
